I want this to be funny, but even the simplest of LISP is foreign to me. So I'm kinda like an English only speaking expat at a Hong-Kong Bar, where a local guy tells me a (dirty?) joke and I laugh, even though I didn't quite get

How do they know you wrote that so called 'open-source' code anyone can see? It's just as easy to fake it there, wouldn't you agree?

Where were you in 2009 and earlier years? The 'market' is the last one to tell you when the feces will be hitting the proverbial fan.

Remember, I did not ask for an implementation. Only a document with their thought process on implementing it. Also, they can use whatever means they like, if we hire them we will quickly find out if they are incompetent. No interview system

I also was in charge of hiring programmers at some point in my career. I made it a point to give programmers a simple project to take home and get back when they where ready (at most a week). The project was very close to what the hired can

Imagine this. You are interviewing for a job, you walk in a room with 2 people who hand you over a sheet with a few problems. They ask you to write the solutions on the whiteboard, while they wait for you to complete. Not a word is said, th

I'm personally waiting for the Nigerian-Internet-Cafe theme to start my own in Canada.

Wow, what is it about atmospheric music combined with radio chatter? On their own they don't have much of an impact on me , but combined I feel like I am Major Tom. Awesome. I also recommend the ISS feed (with orbital video!)

OK, so when I click this post, I go directly to HN's comments section. Where is the original story? Missing URL?

I've used JS enough to find that it's more like a nuclear powered .50 cal Gatling gun.

Pretty much the same here in Canada. In order to use the title 'Engineer' you need to 1) have completed your studies for an engineering degree at an accredited university 2) become part of your province's Engineering group wi

I think I might use that quote and print it on T-shirts.

That's exactly the thoughts that came to my mind. Article is big on complimenting Greg about his qualities being able to follow others, and drive a given vision handed down to him. Hopefully, this article is simply not doing the Person

Please note that I wrote: "If not, CHANCES ARE there is shadiness occurring". I used this to nuance and to denote the fact that this is a rule of thumb, not one of the 10 commandments.
407.
by kelvin0 10y ago
Yeah, I am quite ambivalent about this 'rule'. I think you start on a slippery slope once you can rationalize this type of behavior. Also, would you be comfortable explaining your actions to a journalist/public? If not, chanc

I am tempted to start a project to wrap this to be usable in Python. Very nice lib.

It seems to me a few people fit their jobs/environment others don't. The few who fit are productive, those who aren't where they are supposed to be are not. We should be discussing how to help people learn what environment&#x

Pardon the dullness of my mind, but I have quite a bit of difficulty 'getting the point' that Nietzche is making (against?) Stoics. Could someone explain it in simple terms? I always read such texts with a lot attention and am oft

Yup, we need Meta-recruiters: recruiters that can find the right recruiter for you!

Glad to see my point was clear, so I guess we agree to disagree. In the meantime, I choose (and have done so ever since it first launched) to not use such platforms as FB.

by kelvin0 10y ago
OK, here's my last stab at making this small point: The only reason FB is successful is because 'we' CHOOSE to use it. No one is coercing FB users physically into it's usage. Thus, once we acknowledge this simple fact, w

If everyone stopped using FB (not saying they should), what do you think would happen? As individuals we have a choice in certain actions and their impacts. I agree with you that having an opinion on everything and boycotting this and that
